People have different budget. Nothing unreal about understanding that.
Steam Holiday Seal 2015 |OT| This isn't the account you're looking for
- Thread starter Salsa

Yeah same here, Undertale was one of those must get during sale games for me but just 20% makes me hesitant, but as you safe at least now one has time to think about it.
Nah. It's an amazing sale. Just buy it.
Start with Oath. It's tempting to start with Ys 1, but it's sort of archaic and might turn you off the rest of the games, which are phenomenal.

Know any other atmospheric novel-like stories? Just finished Tales from the Borderlands and looking for something like it.
Damn :/
I remember really liking the Cold War Crisis campaign, but of course OFP was something completely new then, so it was easy to overlook its problems. (And weren't there many... Commanding a tank was such a chore as the AI was incredible accurate with bazookas.)
People frequently recommend Oath as a good starting point.
The issues that exist can be massaged over with mods that are available. Check the Steam forums for wide-screen hacks and xinput wrappers.
I believe there are also mods to replace the direct input icons with Xbox or Dualshock prompts.

Just noticed profile pages got updated to be holiday themed.

Dude, it's less than $10.
I see the devs have stopped mentioning an approximate end date on the store page, haha. The game was originally expected to be complete by the end of 2013.
For those considering a purchase, I'd say there's no harm in jumping in now as the game has never been more than half off and I very much doubt that will change until some months after the final act has released.

Exactly; do they expect us to browse absolutely everything? I never bothered with anything that wasn't a daily/flash deal, even on the last day of a sale.

I can't really give you any good impressions because I dropped the game while in the tutorial. It just didn't feel good to me.
I might go back and give it another chance. The reviews make it seem like I played a totally different game.

since this is the defacto steam thread now the Neon Struct background is pretty cool
Not to mention that what's there to play already is some amazingly atmospheric content.
Totally, if a quirky RPG with black humour and some serious as fuck moments is your thing.
I won't bitch about the sale because I reached that point in my account's life where I have so many games that I don't see myself buying like a crazy person anymore. Plus, there's recent stuff I wanted that I can already play through family sharing on my brother's account, like Life is Strange.
Bought:
Undertale -20%
Aces Wild: Manic Brawling Action! -80%
Betrayer -80%
Detective Case and Clown Bot in: Murder in the Hotel Lisbon -85%
And that's it for now. I decided to start doing some clean-up on my wishlist too, so much accumulated garbage there haha.
edit: also bought Malebolgia -70% and D4 -50%.

If it's like the Autumn sale, games that are currently not on sale can go on sale later. Dailies aren't completely gone.
Gone Home. It's very short, but I really liked it. There's very little comedy though, if that's what you liked about TftB, The Stanley Parable has that aspect covered but is less of a story (check out the demo). Or you can try some of Telltale's other well-regarded games, like The Walking Dead or The Wolf Among Us

It's obviously a low amount for you but you have to realize not everyone has steady jobs and can justify ~10 bucks for a single game.
do it! the new engine update improved a lot of the performance issues and book 4 came out recently and its been great so far.
really hyped for the final book.

So what games are less than a dollar right now? I posted Oniken which is at $0.50.
I think I saw someone posting a game around 0.14 cents lol

It's a buy even if you haven't played any of the Borderlands. The game is littered with cameo characters, but the main cast are all new characters to the series.

Discovery queue needs some work; I'm only going through them to get the card drops, none of the games coming up are ones I care about in the slightest. I get more out of scrolling down the front page of the store than going through the queues, and I don't have to wait 10+ seconds for it to load either.

I haven't played a lot of Borderlands and you pick up on most of the important backstory while playing it.

Tales was great. get it
I see your edit. I was gonna recommend removing the original game from your library as an option.

I think'll grab it and Undertale to see what all the fuss is about. Thanks
If you're talking of Lightning Returns it's 15$ on GMG.

20% def puts it away from the impulse-buy zone for sure
outside word of mouth the game doesn't really appeal to me so i'm not in any real hurry to buy it tbh

This sale is so disappointing. I built up a nice wishlist of games to buy but the discounts aren't substantial enough for the ones I wanted the most and I don't want to have to settle for the lesser titles on my list.
At least Double Dragon: Neon is on sale for $0.99.

Bummer. I was hoping there would have been some sort of discount on Fallout 4. Booo!

I can't even queue. Why is steam even recommending me games I can't even get? FFS

I am platinuming that today. I love 13-2.
Here's one game I'm going to copy and paste things I previously wrote to try to get some people to try this severely underlooked quality game:

Here's a game I'm currently playing on Steam that is way too overlooked for its own good:
Why Am I Dead At Sea
Did you just reference Earthbound in a game description?
God damnit this is starting to happen more often.
